How long do 225 65R17 tires last?
With proper maintenance, high-quality 225/65R17 tires can last 50,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on the specific model and driving conditions. Some tires, like the Michelin Defender LTX M/S, have demonstrated treadlife of over 95,000 miles in testing. If your priority is long-lasting performance and solid treadwear, we can confidently recommend the Bridgestone WeatherPeak. If you require versatile tires that perform well in changing weather, especially during winter, the Michelin CrossClimate2 stands out.Bridgestone wins on upfront affordability, but Michelin often delivers better long-term value. Bridgestone tires typically last 50,000-70,000 miles, while Michelin extends to 55,000-85,000 miles.
What is better than all season tires?
All-Weather tires perform well in both summer and winter seasons. But all-weather tires are better than all-season tires in the winter. All-weather tires carry the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol and all-season tires typically do not. NOTE: All-weather tires still do not perform as well in winter as winter tires. Fuel consumption – As all season tyres are not optimized for warm weather driving, they do not perform as efficiently on dry roads compared to summer tyres. Performance on icy roads – Whilst all season tyres are better for driving on snow or ice than summer tyres, they do not perform as well as winter tyres.For daily driving in a moderate climate, all-season tires offer a smoother, quieter ride. They’re optimized for wet and dry pavement, providing consistent handling and stability during highway commutes or city driving.All-season tyre efficiency While all season tyres might not match the fuel efficiency of dedicated summer tyres, they provide a good middle ground. They perform well in most conditions, allowing for better handling and braking on both warm and cold roads without the need for seasonal changes.
What are the disadvantages of all season tires?
These disadvantages are: They’re Not Made for Heavy Snowfall – All-season tires are made for areas with little to no snowfall. As a result of freezing temperatures, the treads on these tires may harden, causing a lack of traction in heavier snow depths. Many all-season tires do great in the rain and bare pavement year-round. While a set of all-season tires can offer some traction in light snow and the occasional winter storm, they’re not designed for deep snow, ice, and cold weather (when temperatures stay below ~45º F).
